Critics Review
Praise for Music is a Rainbow:
A Kirkus Best Book of 2022
*“A poetic collage of emotion and purpose and a vibrant testament to the power of music.”–Kirkus, starred review
“Collier’s portraiture transfixes the reader with the boy’s hesitant and tender gaze throughout. An optimistic ending reassures the reader of the child’s healing connection to music.”–Booklist
”…a poignant message about the potential of the arts to foster children’s development.“–Horn Book
”The book’s watchful protagonist moves through the world with an endearing tentativeness, making scenes in which the boy connects clearly to music all the more joyful and hopeful.”–Publishers Weekly
